Prince is the winner of seven Grammy Awards and was nominated 30 times. He has five singles that topped the charts and 14 songs that reached into the Top 10.

The acclaimed musician also won an Oscar for the original song score to the classic film ‘Purple Rain.’

In 2004 Prince was nominated into the rock & roll hall of fame, where he performed a legendary version of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”

Last month, publisher Spiegel & Grau announced that it acquired Prince’s memoir, set for release in fall of 2017. “We’re starting from the beginning from my first memory and hopefully we can go all the way up to the Super Bowl,” Prince said.

During his amazing career Prince wrote hundreds of songs for himself and other artists. He released 39 studio albums including four in the last 18 months.

Prince made a surprise appearance at a dance party in Minnesota on Saturday, in what is believed to have been his final public appearance. Here’s a picture from that show.

He didn’t sing during that appearance but he did tell the crowd now to worry about his right now and to ‘Wait a few days before you waste any prayers.’

The Purple Rain hitmaker performed at The Fox Theatre in Atlanta last Thursday night – the second of two back to back sold out shows. At the time the music legend seemed fine during the concert.

Here’s footage from Prince’s show immediately prior to his hospitalization.

A picture posted by a fan on Instagram appeared to show Prince enjoying a leisurely bicycle ride outside his estate this past Sunday.

Prince’s fans and friends quickly took to Twitter to share their condolences for the music star.
